Post-install configuration

There are a few platform settings that need to be updated after installing Anaconda Enterprise, before you can begin using it. Follow the instructions below, based on whether you used a web browser or a command-line to install the platform. Then you’ll be ready to test your installation and perform additional configuration, specific to your organization.

​

Browser-based instructions

If you installed Anaconda Enterprise using a web browser, a UI will guide you through some post-install configuration steps.

1. Enter the cluster Admin account credentials that you will use to log in to the Anaconda Enterprise Operations Center initially, and click Next. (You can change these, or authorize additional Operations Center Admins, as needed.)

   The installer will generate self-signed SSL certificates that you can use temporarily to get started. See Updating TLS/SSL certificates for information on how to change them later, if desired.

2. Enter the fully-qualified domain name (FQDN) where the cluster will be accessed and click Finish Setup.

3. Log in to the Anaconda Enterprise Operations Center using the cluster Admin credentials you provided in Step 1, and follow the instructions below to update the platform settings with the FQDN of the host server.

​

Command-line instructions

If you performed an unattended installation using the command-line instructions, follow the instructions below to generate self-signed SSL certificates that you can use temporarily to get started. See Updating TLS/SSL certificates for information on how to change them later, if desired.

1. On the master node for your Anaconda Enterprise installation, run the following commands to save your secrets file to a location where Anaconda Enterprise can access it, replacing YOUR_FQDN with the fully-qualified domain name of the cluster on which you installed Anaconda Enterprise.:

   Copy

   Ask AI

   cd path/to/Anaconda/Enterprise/unpacked/installer
   cd DIY-SSL-CA
   bash create_noprompt.sh YOUR_FQDN
   cp out/DESIRED_FQDN/secret.yml /var/lib/gravity/planet/share/secret.yml
   
   

   Now /var/lib/gravity/planet/share/secret.yml is accessible as /ext/share/secret.yml within the Anaconda Enterprise environment, which can be accessed with the following command:

   Copy

   Ask AI

   sudo gravity enter
   
   

2. Replace the default secrets cert with the contents of your secret.yml file by running the following commands from within the Anaconda Enterprise environment:

   Copy

   Ask AI

   $ kubectl delete secrets anaconda-enterprise-certs
   secret "anaconda-enterprise-certs" deleted
   $ kubectl create -f /ext/share/secret.yml
   secret "anaconda-enterprise-certs" created
   
   

To complete the post-install process:

gravity --insecure site complete

Now you are ready to follow the instructions below to test your installation.

​

Testing your installation

After you’ve finished installing Anaconda Enterprise, and completed the post-install configuration steps, you can do the following to verify that your installation succeeded:

1. Access the Anaconda Enterprise console by entering the URL of your AE server in a web browser: https://anaconda.example.com, replacing anaconda.example.com with the fully-qualified domain name of the host server.
2. Login with the default username and password anaconda-enterprise / anaconda-enterprise. After testing your installation, update the credentials for this default login. See Configuring user access for more information.

You can verify a successful installation by doing any or all of the following:

• Creating a new project and starting an editing session
• Deploying a project
• Generating a token from a deployment

Next steps:

Now that you’ve completed these essential steps, you can do any of the following optional steps:

• Install the Anaconda Enterprise CLI.
• Install conda for package mirroring.
• Install Livy server for Hadoop Spark access.
• Set TLS/SSL certificates for the platform.
